Chapter 1355: Conversing With The Earth Emperor

chapter 1355: conversing with the earth emperor



wang wei and earth emperor looked at each other, clashing their aura. they looked like they were about to kill each other. however, both of them seemed to have something else on their mind. wang wei's focus was not on this battle but on the sealed space.

'these cowards removed the no-life array, ' wang wei thought. he figured this was an excellent opportunity to at least kill one of these bastards permanently. still, once they realized they did not have the advantage and were forced to fight him, they removed the array to ensure that the worst outcome in this fight was losing one life.

'i need to focus on my primary objective,' wang wei thought. 'which is to break that seal. but now that supreme unity knows where i am, things will not be so simple.' however, this was wang wei's plan, that did not stop him from giving one of these people a lesson.

"are you interested in working with me?"nôv(el)b\\jnn

"pardon me?" wang wei asked; he thought he was having auditory hallucinations.

"there is no need to be surprised," earth emperor added. "there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interest. if our interests are aligned, there is no reason not to work together."

wang wei observed him and realized he was telling the truth. "i have to say you've caught my intrigue. how do you want to work together? what's the common interest you're talking about?"

"to destroy the great qin saint court."

"my first thought is you're courting death," wang wei said, looking at him strangely. "but my second thought is, how will their destruction benefit me?"

"resources."

"why are you saying something so stupid?" wang wei said with a frown. "you don't think i lack resources because i've plundered the dragon and time eater's territory, do you?"

"how can these people compare to the foundation of such an ancient overlord?" earth emperor argued. "plus, the human emperor has an unknown and secret origin. i'm sure you're interested."

wang wei looked at him without a word. he did not hide the annoyance on his face or the fact that the earth emperor was speaking nonsense. his entire body language was as rude as it could be; he made it evident that he was restraining himself by not calling him a moron.

"of course, this is not the main reason i think you'll agree."

"i want to know what makes you so confident."

"no, they're true, but you seem to overlook something - the demon suppression emperor is an acquaintance at best," wang wei replied. "i've saved her and her people, so she already owes me karma. i don't need to go to extreme lengths to save her. plus, i know for a fact she'll be alive until the human emperor returns from limbo. i have plenty of time."

it's not hard to guess why the qin court captured her. the demon suppression emperors held both minor human emperor and heavenly emperor positions, and ying zheng would do anything to get his hands on them.

"meanwhile, the same cannot be said for you," wang wei continued. "the human emperor might still keep her alive once he returns, trying to find a more peaceful way to take her position to prevent complications. but you're a useless pawn who has usurped power. he'll definitely kill you as soon as he's capable."

"i'm no one's pawn," earth emperor said with gritted teeth.

"what's the point of being agitated now after wasting such an opportunity?"

"what are you talking about?"

"am i wrong?" wang wei asked. "under normal circumstances, with your intelligence and capabilities, you would never have a chance to escape the human emperor's grasp. however, this turn of this era gave you a chance. with 1/9 of the world's resources and luck, you can bypass the limitation of your poor talent and cultivate to the peak of the paragon realm. although it would be impossible for you to become a primal under normal circumstances, you could have done it if you were ruthless enough.

"all you needed to do was risk your life to pass the unorthodox outlaw trial for samsara dao, and your future would have been bright."

earth emperor could not pass the test based on karma, but the upper dimension offered an outlaw trial that was just a mighty heavenly tribulation. he could have passed if the earth emperor had been ruthless and willing to use most of his resources and luck.

"after gaining control of samsara dao, with 1/9 destiny of the world, you could get a job as a yama king in the underworld and use this opportunity to become a primal. the underworld is more than enough to protect you from the human emperor, and he would probably have given up on you as a pawn since it would cost him too much to retrieve you.

"but if you were bolder and wiser, the eternal ascension world's one-ninth luck was probably enough to get you the status as [earth emperor] if you prove yourself. then, all you had to do was take advantage of the human emperor's absence to destroy the qin saint court and ruin

his foundation.

"if you plan well enough, you might even kill him and get his human emperor position. after that, well, your future will be infinite."

the earth emperor was quiet. everything wang wei said sounded fine and dandy, but it did

not meet reality. he was not like the others who let power get to him — at least, he believed so. his cultivation was so low because someone was always watching him, not wanting him to get more powerful. time eater chose them because they were weak and had little talent, so how did he let them become as powerful as him?

additionally, how hard was the unorthodox outlaw trial? many believe it's more challenging than the paragon tribulation - especially for people who want to change their dao so late in their journey. how could he risk everything just for another dao?

'in the end, it's as he said i was not bold or ruthless enough,' earth emperor sighed. he looked at wang wei, releasing a terrifying killing intent. 'the current world situation is strange and dangerous, and i need the council of a wise minister to help me through it. if i can get his soul, i can refine it into a wisdom artifact. there is no better reassurance as a monarch, or even in my cultivation journey than to have a dao overlord under my control feeding me ideas and plans.'
